First time poster and big Alien fan.

Wonderful photos and review, thanks!

I really like the improved articulation, and it's a bonus that the new knee joints made the legs slightly shorter, as the earlier figure's legs were just way too long.
What I'm not too keen on is the dome's paint apps (as everybody else has pointed out, the blackened front is exaggerated) and the huge teeth...
The dome and the underlying painting of the detail remind me of the MM5 McFarlane figure. And that's not good.
As for the teeth, it seems to me they just made them bigger, because the upper lip looks the same as before, i.e. slightly curved down to actually cover the teeth. Unfortunately, that messes up the entire look of the face, and makes and already problematic profile even more problematic with the upper teeth jutting over lower teeth.
Also, the dome isn't placed properly, the front should cover the ribbed detail. So, all in all, the head is a mess!
It seems to me that the only "resculpting" done was to accommodate the improved articulation and the bizarre decision to make the teeth larger, with absolutely no regard for making it actually more accurate.
